Cash Wheeler has been arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Firearm, a serious sentence by the sound of it.

The Reddit link isn’t pasting right so here is a summary:

Daniel Wheeler, a tag-team champion in All Elite Wrestling, was arrested Friday morning by the Orlando Police Department and charged with one count of aggravated assault with a firearm. He was booked in Circuit Court, according to county records.

Wheeler, 36, better known in wrestling circles as Cash Wheeler, is a member of the tag team FTR with Dax Harwood. They hold the promotion’s tag-team championship.

AEW is generally considered the No. 2 wrestling promotion in the U.S. behind WWE; Wheeler is scheduled to wrestle Aug. 27 in London on a show expected to draw 80,000 fans.

Wheeler is an 18-year veteran wrestler who spent six years in the WWE system, including time in Orlando-based NXT, before joining AEW in 2020.

Have to imagine that fucks his visa

Sounds like The Bucks need a new dream match for Wembley.

What is it with tag teams and people doing stupid shit?!

[Guest]

He’s the sensible one as well. His mugshot doesn’t look like a sober man

I think it will more then fuck his visa

Apparently a 5 year prison sentence as a maximum unless it turns out he threatened a public worker like police or firefighter in which case it’s a 2nd degree felony and gets pushed up to 15 years. A quick google on some law sites too say there’s a high probability of jail even as a first time offender.

Wonder if we’ll get a very quick qualifier/contender match on the remaining TV then something to crown new champs at All In? 
 

Honestly gutted about this. I haven’t really followed Dax’s online shenanigans so I’m still a big fan of FTR and was excited to see them live. God damn murrcans and their guns man.

Tony Khan scribbling out tournament brackets as we speak.

I for one cannot wait for FTR Bald's head to explode Scanners style at this. What a fucking mental turn this has taken.

[Supremo]

All I'm saying is that Jeff Jarrett doesn't have a match at Wembley. Yet.

Don’t be silly. We know exactly what Tony Khan is doing right now.

Hopefully the extra ‘mental clarity’ helps him think of a solution.

My worry is he’ll just put MJF/Adam Cole in again. Triple duty, bay bay.

Ignoring how fucked this is from a general perspective from a booking perspective no idea how you sort this out, as it's highly unlikely he's going to be allowed to leave the state let alone the country.

Maybe you go with Young Bucks vs Jay White/Juice (which admittedly would be a fucking BANGER) and maybe Omega vs Takeshita as a singles or Hangman/Ibushi/Omega in a hastily thrown together Trios with House of Black? Fuck knows.

Or TK drives the biggest truck of money to Edge's house ASAP.

Hilariously, it turns out the incident happened weeks ago.

Superb. What a wheeze.
